My year in pictures…

...

I have always loved photos and have recently started to appreciate seeing my dreams turn into a reality and celebrating them as they happen. With this in mind I've decided to display my 2011 in pictures - a month by month account of what I've been doing this year - as I look forward to the promises of 2012 :).

JANUARY

I became a cover girl!After begging my boss (the editor) for a solid two months she finally gave in...

I cut my hair!After years of braiding, weaves, cornrow, plaits, bald patches, cupboards full of hair products promising to give me Rapunzel-like hair and what seemed like spending half my life sitting waiting in hair salons to get my hair done, I went for the chop. My husband said I should go for it and luckily we both loved it!

FEBRUARY

Two of my favourite girls got married!

MARCH

I discovered hair dye! Discovering that I could dye my practically non-existent hair knowing that it would soon grow out if I didnt like it was the beginning of a long love-affair with colour.

APRIL

My first cover as editor! The first magazine I have ever edited was published after I was promoted at work. It was a stressful process but a very happy moment for me when I saw the finished product.

My first ever trip to The Big Apple!My lovely husband sent me to New York during the Royal Wedding in the UK. I had wanted to go for years and had an amazing time seeing all the touristy sites, shopping and visiting the amazing Hillsong church in Union Square.

MAY/JUNE

Discovered and fell in love with Mo-Saique shoes!

Sold my £39.99 dress for £168.00on eBay (four years after it was bought for me!) once Kate Middleton aka the Duchess of Cambridge was seen wearing it - twice :)

Discovered ModelMayhem. Social networking for models, make-up artists, fashion designers and photographers. Started doing test shoots and getting back into modelling mode!
